We had discussed last Friday that it would be fun to have a pet. Aaron loves snakes and I love cute things like bunnies and puppies so likewise we thought a turtle would be a great pet. It really doesn't make sense for several reasons:
1. I had a box turtle when I was younger. I got tired of feeding it so I stopped and eventually it died.
Okay, that's the only real reason why I shouldn't be taking care of another turtle. In my defense, I was young, impressionable and never had a leopard tortoise.
We headed to a pet store called "Snakes on Sunset". The very first thing that we saw was this cute thing bustin' a move. There were other tortoises, sure, but she was the cutest and incredibly mobile for such a small thing. Aaron and I both had that look in our eyes, the "I'm meeting my son/daughter for the first time" look and agreed that we had to have her.
CUTE!! I love the coloring on its shell! Becca, you should have Aaron tell you about 'Mary' the box turtle we had as kids. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't
